* Two men were arrested Saturday night after drug-related robberies, police said.

Stephen Woods, 23, 41 Lyme St., Hartford, and Samuel Nieves, 18, 140 Silver Lane, East Hartford, were charged with first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery. Nieves was also charged with third-degree assault, first-degree unlawful restraint, criminal use of a weapon, risk of injury to a minor and not having a pistol permit.

Police say Woods and Nieves held up and pistol-whipped a 15- year-old at Brainard Road and Washington Street and stole $90, police said. They also held up and assaulted a couple on Pleasant Street who did not wish file a complaint.

Bouchard said all those involved in the incidents may have been engaged in drug-related activities. Woods and Nieves were presented in Enfield Superior Court on Monday, but their court information was not available.
